I gave away five or six daylilies...

I gave away all my Ruby Stella and Lavender Blush daylilies today. My daughter dug them up for me. She'll keep the Lavender Blush and give the others to friends. I'm downsizing and putting grass in the bare spots. I almost gave away my dwarf dogwood, but chickened out.

Oh my gosh, "Putting In Grass?" I don't think I've ever heard that one before! The norm is to get rid of the grass!

I got rid of a bunch of old orange ditch lilies in the last couple weeks myself. They multiply too fast and I want to make room for more new kinds. Anyway, with all the rain this spring the neighbor ended up with a gully where all the water had overflowed and washed out along his fencerow. So I offered to fill it with ditch lilies to help hold in the soil and prevent further erosion. It was a win-win, he got his fencerow stabilized and I got new space for more daylilies!

I'm sure your daughter and her friends will enjoy your hand-me-down flowers!

I can't keep up with my flower beds. Those daylilies were getting overtaken by the grass anyway. Now we can mow the grass down without crying about the daylilies. Gardening is becoming painful for me. I'm going to be doing more container gardening so I don't have to weed.

I have given away a few that just have not seemed happy here...I am sending Spacecoast Royal Ransome to a new home today. Miss Izy may have to move back south. Not sure she is happy here either!

[Midnight Reiter Too]

Well, now I'm thinking that I should have given away my Stella Supreme daylilies.

[Midnight Reiter Too]

Today I told my daughter that she can have my 'Stella Supreme' and 'Cherry Valentine' daylilies. At the rate I'm going, I may have only three varieties left --- unless I give some of those away.

[nanny_56]

Gee...what do you have left?

[Midnight Reiter Too]

I have only Prairie Blue Eyes, Catherine Woodbury, and Joylene Nicole left.

STOP, I say, STOP NOW!!!! You have 3 very nice daylilies left, so keep 'em!!! Put them in pots (you'll curse the watering, rather than the weeding), or move them to a location, perhaps in a corner, or someplace where they will be tucked away and not so close to the lawn grass as to make mowing a hazard. Or plant them in the ground and make a little square around them out of bricks or edgers, slightly above ground level, and then you have only a very specific small place to weed and you can mow around them easier. But please, keep your last three so you'll have a few blooms to enjoy this summer!!!

I swear, if you give away these last three I'm going to send you a box full of daylilies to replace them!!!!

I think I'll keep 'em.

Good Girl!!!

Wait! If I buy 'Wonderful Wonderful' and plant them where the 'Prairie Blue Eyes' are, may I give away 'Prairie Blue Eyes'?
